Analysis: Oh Gophers. If you're playing this easy of a non-conf schedule, you really should have more to show for it. At the bottom of the rankings in all categories, and showing no signs of changing their scheduling philosophy. Much too easy for a Big 10 program.

Fact: More than half of Minnesota’s opponents averaged under 4 wins per season.

Fact: Minnesota is 1 of 9 teams who have scheduled more I-AA teams than BCS teams – 6 to 2 (the 2 were California in 2006 & Baylor in 2000).

2008 Outlook: Northern Illinois, @ Bowling Green, I-AA Montana State, and Florida Atlantic. Yup – Bottom.
